Linemen, teachers lathicharged
January 28, 2010
Activists of the Unemployed Linemen and ETT Teachers Unions raised slogans against Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal in Badbar village, where he inaugurated a polytechnic college today. The police resorted to lathicharge and arrested activists of the unions to control the situation.

District president of the Unemployed Linemen Union Bhola Singh said for the past 13 years, they had been protesting to get employment, but the government ignored it with a result that a majority of them had crossed the age limit. When the CM started addressing a gathering, state cashier of the Unemployed Linemen Union Parimal Singh started raising slogans against the CM. On seeing the cashier being mercilessly beaten up by the police, activists of both unions started raising slogans against the CM and blocked the road. He suffered injuries and was hospitalised.

Bhola Singh said if the government failed to make their appointment to 4,000 posts, they would gherao residences of ministers, which they would do on February 5 by laying siege to the residence of former minister Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa.
